Can't create a Dataflow gen2

[Sofiafarenmark]

Hi,

I am trying to create a dataflow gen2 in Power Bi, however when I select the alternative I get the message:

"Unable to create this item

To create a Dataflow Gen2, you need a free Microsoft Fabric trial capacity. "

I have microsoft fabric so how is this possible that I can not create the dataflow? I can't create a free trial.  What licence do I need to create the dataflow?

Hi @Sofiafarenmark ,

Dataflow Gen2 is the new generation of dataflows that resides alongside the Power BI dataflow (Gen1) and brings new features and improved experiences. It requires a Fabric capacity or a Fabric trial capacity. To understand better how licening works for dataflows you can read the following article: Microsoft Fabric concepts and licenses

For more details, you could read related document: Differences between Dataflow Gen1 and Dataflow Gen2 - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
